sorry for the delay....here are some updates

This is yet another cathedral that I have been to. Actually, this cathedral is probably the most important. It is called Canterbury Cathedral, and is considered the center of the Church of England. You might also be familiar with it because of Geoffrey Chaucer’s “Canterbury Tales.” That book is important because it was written in common vernacular English, which was one of the first texts to use English…though it was the transition English from middle to modern. Making sense? Probably not..but I’m an English nerd. Also important, Sir Thomas Becket was martyred here and there is a small shrine to him. He was a church leader who stood up to the government and was assassinated. The catholic church has some shady history.
